Il corpo come luogo liminare: prospettive in Occidente e in Oriente a confronto
No full textSince the formulation of the “paradigm of embodiment” by Thomas J.
Csordas, the body has grown increasingly important in anthropological
research and far from being considered the object of culture it has turned into
the subject of culture itself, into the “existential ground of culture”. The body
has the capability of being imbued with knowledge, to act in the world and, at
the same time, to be shaped by those forces that act in the world. Not only is
the body a liminal space between disciplines, it is also the means – in limine
– through which human experience occurs in the world and the world enters
man. In this contribution, the author will take into account some aspects of
contemporary Western culture compared with the Naxi people living in Southwest
China. The methodological approach adopted will provide the body as
the main analytic tool for deciphering the processes relevant to the construction
of societies, cultures, and the world. The notion of “embodied knowledge”
will offer the opportunity for rethinking modernity and observing how,
beyond the forms by which it models and weaves its social, political and economic
interdependencies, modernity knows original declinations and retains
areas of resistance to the homologation of identities and cultural colonization
Challenges in Teaching Literature in an EFL Context (A Case Study of Indonesian Students)
No full textThe significance of literature in language learning has grown considerably. This is particularly true in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), where it is recognized as a valuable tool for enhancing English skills. Nonetheless, the focus on teaching English literature for its intrinsic value rather than solely as a means for language acquisition is limited, especially in Indonesia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the teaching of English literature to EFL students in Indonesian high schools. Specifically, the study aims to investigate the criteria employed by English literature teachers in selecting literary works, identify challenges faced by teachers when instructing EFL students in English literature, and examine the strategies they employ to overcome these challenges. The research entails a case study involving a teacher instructing two distinct English lessons at a senior high school in Indonesia. The findings reveal the following: Firstly, the primary considerations for selecting literary texts include factors such as length, language complexity, canonical status, and the author\u27s cultural background. Secondly, challenges encountered encompass reading habits, English proficiency, and the availability of resources. Consequently, this research underscores the potential for further exploration within the realm of teaching English literature to EFL students in Indonesia, with the pursuit of effective instructional models being a noteworthy avenue for future investigation
UNRAVELING STUDENT INSIGHTS: QUIZIZZ IN ENGLISH LEARNING AT A VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IN CIREBON
No full textAlong with the times, the use of technology in learning becomes dominant. One alternative online learning tool that can be utilized is Quizizz. This research examined how students view the incorporation of Quizizz for English learning. Student perceptions were utilized as a metric to gauge the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, as well as to assess the methodologies employed by educators. The success of teaching and the learning process is significantly influenced by students\u27 perceptions. By understanding these perceptions, educators can better grasp students\u27 learning requirements and tailor their teaching approach accordingly. Consequently, the students perceptions can influence their motivation in learning English. Thus the interactive online media was chosen in order to increase their enagagment throughout the learning journey. Furthermore, the qualitative case study was designed for this study by spreading questionnaires and conducting interviews to collect the data. The Likert Scale was employed for data analysis. The subjects involved were 11th-grade students from a vocational high school. The results of this study revealed that students have a positive perception towards the utilization of Quizizz. Quizizz was a fun and interesting web-based online learning that was easy to use and encouraged students’ motivation toward the leaderboard and display. Hence, utilizing Quizizz positively influenced students\u27 perspectives. Quizizz serves as a viable web-based alternative for online learning and facilitating the acquisition of essential 21st-century skills

More favorable and differential treatment of developing countries : toward a new approach in the World Trade Organization
No full textThe authors discuss options that could be considered in the World Trade Organization (WTO) to provide more favorable treatment-so-called special and differential treatment (SDT)-to small and low-income countries. They argue that there is a need both for differentiation across WTO members and for steps that would benefit all developing countries. The authors suggest the following to make the Doha Round more supportive of development: 1) A binding commitment by industrial countries to abolish export subsidies and nontariff barriers (tariff quotas) and to reduce most-favored-nation tariffs on labor-intensive products of export interest to developing countries to no more than 5 percent in 2010, and to no more than 10 percent for agricultural products. All tariffs on manufactures should go to zero by 2015, the target date for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Liberalization should also be undertaken by developing countries on the basis of a formula approach. 2) A binding commitment by industrial countries on services to expand temporary access for service providers by a specific amount-for example, equal to an additional 1 percent of the workforce-and not to restrict cross-border trade (for example, by telecom channels). 3) Unilateral action by all industrial countries to extend preferential market access for less developed countries, and to simplify eligibility criteria, especially rules of origin. 4) Affirmation by the WTO that core disciplines relating to the use of trade policy apply equally to all WTO members. 5) Acceptance of the principle that for small and low-income countries"one size does not fit all"when it comes to domestic regulation and to WTO agreements requiring substantial investment of resources. 6) Recognition that some WTO agreements need to be adapted to make them moresupportive of development, and a consequent willingness by industrial countries to modify them. 7) Expansion of development assistance to bolster trade capacity in poor countries and strengthening of the links between trade-related technical assistance and the mechanisms through which aid priorities are determined in developing countries. In practice, calls for specific types of SDT often appear to be motivated by a perception that a certain WTO rule is"anti-development"and that therefore developing countries should be exempted from the rule in question. The authors suggest that the appropriate solution to such problems is to change the rules rather than seek an opt-out. What should be up front changes in rules and what should be part of the negotiating agenda is a major issue which needs to be addressed at the Cancun Ministerial meeting. The suggestion that SDT should focus primarily on WTO rules and be limited to those countries that need it most-very small and poor economies-implies that criteria should be adopted to differentiate between countries. Leaving this to self-declaration-the current approach-is not feasible, while reliance on case-by-case, agreement-specific negotiation can generate excessive costs, discretion, and associated uncertainty. While the authors'preference is for a simple rule-of-thumb approach to determine eligibility, this is an issue that requires much more thought and discussion. They suggest that WTO members establish a high-level group to consider criteria that could be used for differentiation purposes and to determine the set of agreements to which differentiation will apply.Economic Theory&Research,Rules of Origin,Environmental Economics&Policies,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Decentralization,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Poverty Assessment,World Trade Organization
